errr puzzled...I think you'll find I'd be the last person to banish football from the park given I coach a ladies footy group there every Sunday. Two years ago there was no pitch on this section of grass. There may have been the year before but when I started playing there, there wasn't. The reason being the cracking up of the ground makes sense though. Having said that, these are pitches that cost ?50 an hour to hire and can't be used by anyone who doesn't pay to do so.


Encroachment would be what happened last season when two junior pitches were painted onto the section of grass along the East Side just outside the park, a section that has never been used for hire of pitches. So it has happened before.

fyi, the junior football club alongside the east field hve always played five a side for the teenies alongside the main pitches. a couple of years ago the council merely painted a few lines for them. I am sure the club pays or the privilege.


if you are a football person you must agree that five side is preferable to many other things young people get up to in the park and elsewhere.


incidentally, do you really run a LADIES football (never footie) group? are the participants really all women of title? if so, they should pay double

What lol? Yes I really do coach ladies football...have run a group for 18 months and it is FREE for those that attend.....


You are confusing the five a side pitches that are part of the main sports field with the pitches they painted outside of the fence of the park last year. Those pitches have never been there in all the 20 years I have lived alongside the park FYI ;)


But no, I would never argue for removing football for young and old alike, but can also understand the concerns of those that don't want to see other areas used for football apart from those normally designated for such use.

    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate? 
    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.
